My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 247

Whether it be disaster or glory, it was his world.

It was something I needed to share with him.

However, I did not realize his identity then, so I didn't know that to be with him was to share this world with him.

I went into the villa with a terrible mood and went to the room next to Robert to rest. I browsed through the entertainment headlines on my phone. There was nothing major, as it was all gossip about some celebrities.

Then, I found the tweet that Shawn had posted way back then. The number of likes had already exceeded three million, and the comments below were full of fans who admired him.

"On November 27, 201X, at 8.00PM, Renee and I got engaged. We will be officially married in 201X. It is a celebration to be seen by all."

I will not forget this passage my whole life.

As my eyes were slightly red, I closed my eyes and said, "Merry Christmas, Sunny."

I could only say it to myself in the dead of night.

…

The next day, I was woken up by Robert, who ran to my room and bounced around on my bed.

I opened my eyes and threatened him tiredly, "Continue and I'll send you away and back to the city."

However, he fearlessly said, "Merry Christmas, Miss!"

Sometimes he was like an unworldly boy, so one couldn't afford to be mad at him.

I responded good-naturedly, "Merry Christmas."

Robert sat cross-legged next to me and said, "I have a flight back to the States this afternoon."

I got up and went to the bathroom as I commented, "Bon voyage."

Then, he got up and came after me to ask, "Are you coming back to France with me?"

France is not my home.

As such, I directly refused him. "I'm busy."

"Ree, come back with me to spend Christmas with Mom."

That's his mother, not my business.

I could never forget the words she said that day. "You are my daughter, but apart from that, I do not

know what bond we have."

She had no feelings for me, so whether I spent Christmas with her or not made no difference.

"Robert, another word, and you're out of here."

I didn't know him well, and I hope we didn't have further involvement.

Robert was disappointed as he muttered, "Mom does care about you."

I pursed my lips, not knowing what to explain.

Then, I closed the bathroom door and washed my face. The sound of running water couldn't hide Robert's voice. "Mom has missed you all these years and always sent people to inquire about you. Clair hadn't returned to Bryxton for over ten years since he left the Felix Family when he was young. Why do you think he suddenly appeared by your side two years ago when you were lonely and helpless? Who do you think arranged that uterine cancer surgery for you two years ago? Do you know who the kidney in your body belongs to?"

I was in a trance and then heard Robert say, "Mom did them for you."

I violently fell to the floor as the sounds outside dissipated, and I slumped with a splitting headache while gasping for air.

I called out for Robert, but there was not a single response!

Then, I pushed the door open to crawl out and found the room was empty. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Did Robert leave?!

My stomach hurt severely, and my chest was clogged as if I couldn't breathe. I couldn't stop coughing, and then an extremely demonic rose instantly bloomed on the snow-white carpet, just like the blood I spat out after Nicholas slapped me in the Forger's villa.

I was on the verge of death at that time.

The fear in my heart grew heavier, and I got up with difficulty and stumbled out of the villa to see Robert's car turning into the corner. My strength couldn't hold up my body weight, and I fell to the ground. I wanted to go back to my room to get my cell phone to inform the Xenos Family, but I didn't have the strength to get up anymore!

I fell to the ground in a twisted position. My arms hurt badly, and my legs were numb. Worst of all was my abdomen—the pain there made me feel like dying!

When I was helpless, the door of the villa below opened.

Then, the man inside looked at me against the light, and I cried out wordlessly, "Help me, Nicholas."

Afterward, I was held in Nicholas' arms as he lifted his legs to leave the place.

My face turned pale as I said weakly, "My cell phone."

After Nicholas got my phone from the room for me, I sat in the passenger seat and called Anthony to tell him about the situation. He said worriedly, "Miss, I'm waiting for you at the Xenos Family's hospital."

The hospital acquired by the Xenos Family in Bryxton had also opened everywhere.

I hummed and heard Anthony ask, "Where's Joshua? Why isn't he with you?"

Then, I endured the pain in my body to explain, "I gave them the day off."

At that, Anthony couldn't help but criticize, "You are too willful. Joshua didn't even report this to me."

"I'm sorry. I didn't let them inform you because I was afraid you would disagree. Besides, the mountain is guarded by the Xenos Family. If I stay in the villa, there's no danger."

Anthony's voice was filled with helplessness as he murmured, "However, there is no one around you. If you… like this… Miss, your health condition does not allow you to be alone."

Judging from his tone, Anthony seemed to be hiding something about my health.

Then, I reassured him, "It's alright. Give me the address."

Immediately after I ended the call, Anthony sent me the address.

I handed the phone to the man at my side, and it didn't take long for me to lose consciousness.

In the pitch blackness, it seemed like someone kept calling my name.

"Who are you?" I asked softly, to which he said gently, "Ree, it's me."

Still, I ask unconsciously, "Who am I?"

"Ree, I am the man you once wanted to marry."

I groaned and asked, "Who is the man I wanted to marry?"

"Nicholas Forger, a man who was once not good enough for you."

I mumbled, "Oh, and who is Nicholas?"

The voice sounded teary as the person murmured, "Ree, I was wrong, terribly wrong! I'm sorry. I'm the one who owes you. I deserve to die. I-I'm the one who gave you the pain you're in now."

I seemed to remember who Nicholas was.

However, the one who gave me the pain was also Shawn.

It was the two men I used to love the most.

Once…

I was still in love with Shawn, with all my heart and no regrets.

He was the one who taught me what it meant to be the only one in this life.

However, he was also the one who walked away.

I couldn't help but wail like a little child. When I had cried enough, I opened my eyes to find myself in the ward. Nicholas was talking with the doctor about my condition with my back to me.

The doctor whispered, "The cancer is beginning to…"

However, he immediately stopped when he noticed I was awake. Nicholas noticed something was off and he turned around.

Taking the hint, the doctor left the ward.

Then, Nicholas called out to me softly.

I tilted my head, looked at him calmly, and said, "I know my body, so I can guess my situation."

Nicholas looked at me with a sad gaze. "Ree, my heart aches for you."

"Nicholas, I'm afraid of dying and even more afraid of leaving this world. I will actively take the treatment because I have too many people and things I care about. However, please keep it a secret for me. I don't want my parents to worry about me, let alone…"

Let alone Shawn to know about this.

"Ree, are you going to carry all the grief alone again as you did two years ago?" He paused and said with sadness, "Good thing I know this time."
